This book presents a critical assessment of the principles governing the enforcement of EC environmental law. It argues that the general case law on rights and remedies in EC law can, and should, be applied in environmental litigation, and maps out the legal justification for more effective enforcement through individual prosecution. ...provides a clearly written and well-argued case for a change of approach. Given the ever-increasing importance of European envoronmental law...the book has a potentially wide readership which will doubtless benefit from reflecting on the assumptions it challenges and the recommendations it makes.
